Sultantepe
The ancient temple-complex, perhaps of Huzirina,〔''Huzirina'' is indirectly attested in cuneiform tablets at the site, and in the annals of Tukulti-Ninurta II, but O. R. Gurney pointed out that Huzirina in the royal annals was situated not more than a day's march west of Nisibis, whereas Sultantepe is some 130 miles farther west (Gurney, in ''Anatolian Studies'' 2 p. 30f).〕 now represented by the tell of Sultantepe, is a Late Assyrian archeological site at the edge of the Neo-Assyrian empire, now in Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey. Sultantepe is about south of Urfa on the road to Harran. The modern village of Sultantepe Köyü lies at the base of the tell.
==History==
Excavations have revealed an Assyrian city, with eighth to seventh century levels that were rebuilt after ca 648 BCE,〔Based on eponymous datings by ''limmu'' officials after the "Canon" that ends in 648 BCE. (Lloyd and Gokçe 1953:42).〕 containing a hoard of cuneiform tablets, including versions of the Epic of Gilgamesh and school texts including exercise tablets of literary compositions full of misspellings. The complete library of some 600 unfired clay tablets was found outside a priestly family house. Contracts also found at the site consistently record Aramaean names, J. J. Finkelstein has remarked〔J. J. Finkelstein, "Assyrian Contracts from Sultantepe" ''Anatolian Studies'' 7 (1957:137-145) p. 138, notes that Tell Halaf records also consistently bear Aramaean names at this period.〕 The writings end suddenly simultaneously with the fall of nearby Harran in 610 BCE, two years after the fall of Nineveh. The tablets from Sultantepe now form the Assyrian library in the Archaeological Museum at Ankara. The site remained unoccupied during the subsequent Neo-Babylonian and Achaemenid periods, to be re-occupied by Hellenistic and Roman times.

The modern village lies in an arc round the base of the mound on the north and east.
